Hi, > > Text mode, no framebuffer. > > Maybe rmmod+modprobe on the acpi drivers (video, button) fixes it? video.ko would be produced by THINKPAD_ACPI_VIDEO? I didn't compile that, given the warnings in the help ;-) I haven't explicitly tried reloading button.ko, but I suspect very much that it won't help: It's not contained in the initramfs, and the problem does happen before mounting the real root fs. Let me know if I still should try it ... However, your suggestion made me try Fn-F7 - which indeed does make the display light up again. > You can also try to get thinkpad-acpi to help you discover where things are > going bad.

Well, that thing doesn't exist, for obvious reasons ;-) Let me know what I should try next - maybe build the video module and try what effect loading it has?
